23Oct Printing a DSLR rig A frame handle.
I was working on a shoot last week and accidentally knocked over one my DSLR rigs. Thankfully the Cube Cage completely protected the camera, but the frame of the rig hit just right and busted off a small chunk from one of the handle mounts. I was thinking about ordering another one from CPM, or […]
19Oct Lockport 7 & Lockport 5 HDMI port protector, HDMI lock
Sure you could spend $125 on the Zacuto HDMI cable lock, but for $25 less Lockport actually includes an HDMI brake out right angle adapter. Right now the Lockport 5 is designed for the Canon 5d mark II and the Lockport 7 is designed for the Canon 7d, but it looks like they’re also working […]
14Oct New Item for the Noob store, the Advanced Zoom h1 shock mount.
The new printer has paid off with an update to the Zoom h1 shock mount. This upgraded version of the shock mount gives you 3 extra cold shoes around the outside of the unit and a thicker frame to handle the extra weight. If you’re wondering why you might need the outside cold shoe adapters […]
11Oct Back again, Reprap 3d printer took over the last week of my life.
You might have noticed my lack of posts over the last week, and above is the basic reason, with 7 days of work and 1 day off for October fest. Sometimes I get sucked into a project and don’t stop until I’ve finished, this reprap build has taken more hours then I wanted to spend, […]
03Oct Next 3d printer build
My next 3d printer showed up a few days ago and i’m 3/4 of the way through the build. The Makergear Prusa isn’t quit as easy to assemble as the Makerbot and it takes a lot of searching to figure out what needs to happen next. I’m about to start on the electronics and still trying […]
30Sep Matin Outlast leather DSLR hand strap – Review
You might know from this previous post, that I have a soft spot for DSLR hand straps, and I’ve been happy with the $7.49 hand strap I picked up a few months back, but after seeing the Matin Outlast leather hand grip pop up on Amazon a last month, I decided to pull the trigger on […]
26Sep Makerbot upgrades for the Next Noob shock mount revision.
When I’m not tied up with other projects I’m slowly putting together new ideas for the Noob store. To the left is the upgraded MK7 makerbot extruder, to the right is a ruff mock up of the next generation of Noob shock mount. There are 3 cold shoe mounts along the outside for extra gear. […]
25Sep Spider Steady Rig DSLR Rig Movie Kit adjustable shoulder rig video Review
The title of this post represents the current verbal spasm of a name that this rig sells under right now. The official name for this rig is the Spider Steady Rig (thanks to alexpirpiris for finding that for me), but it goes by many other names. Every time I start to complain about this rig I have to remind myself that it’s […]
24Sep Cheap Flexible Focus gears for your Follow focus
Focus gears can get kind of pricey depending on who you buy them from, so when I see one for $10.25, I’m a little skeptical of the quality. The basic idea of this little guy is that you can tighten the flexible gear on to your lens’s focus ring and your left with a one size fits […]
21Sep Juicedlink DS214 adapters finally back in the Noob store.
There was finally a brake in the orders for Zoom h1 shock mounts and my makerbot wasn’t out of service with mechanical problems. This gave me the day worth of testing and editing I needed to iron out the problems I was having with the Juicedlink DS214 adapter design. You can now, once again, order […]
